Hiking the "W" - Day 2

Glacier Gray - 9.5 hrs, 3o ish km and a near death experience, not bad for day 2!

Set off just before 8, we walked 50 mins in the low clouds (what we later realised was uphill) to the majestic sight of lake grey, dotted with icebergs and covered by a magical morning mist and then onwards to the fantastical sight of glacier grey, spanning about 1km across and stretching out 50 or 60 km or more to the mountains beyond - spectacular! We had lunch at the main viewpoint before heading on to wander round the sides of the glacier, unfortunately the path had collapsed about 30 mins round and after trying to scramble across, I ended up gripping on for dear life to the muddy overhang above a river, needing a helping hand from Don to make it back to safe ground, we decided it was time to head back. The views on the way back were amazing as the clouds lifted, the sun came out and blue skies greeted us. A perfect day in the park!
